Question

A farmer has four sacks of peanuts weighing 24 kg, 36 kg, 30 kg and 46 kg, respectively. He repacked the peanut such that the packs have equal weights and the largest weight possible with no peanuts left unpacked. How many kilograms will each pack of peanuts contain? Select one: A. 10 kg B. 20 kg C. 15 kg D. 2 kg

Answer 1

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

There are four sacks of peanuts

1st sacks weight = 24 kg

2nd sacks weight = 36 kg

3rd sacks weight = 30 kg

4th sacks weight = 46 kg

We know that

Average weight = sum of weight / number of sacks

Putting the values we get

Average weight = (24 + 36 + 30 + 46) / 4 = 134 / 4 = 34

So if the number of sacks is 4 then we can repacked the sacks with weight of 34 kg to get the maximums possibility of weighting and no peanut leftover.
